What Has the World Come To?

In the 20-odd days I took for Blogger break, the world has changed in a variety of unspeakable ways. How could these things be allowed to happen?

1) If you go to Google images and type 'p', this is what comes up first:




Damn you, Autocomplete!

Really, is the world developing such distasteful interests out of choice or boredom?

I'd rather check Images for pizza or even Periodic Table. (PS: Pink?! What is the world thinking?)

Shame on you, Population. Shame.

2) Again, if you type 'g' in Google Images, you get:


But with 'b', there's no 'boy'. This is what one calls horrible population distribution, and the best way to explain the skewed gender numbers in India.


But then again, we also had news like:

(quoted directly from BBC)
'A cross between a Chihuahua and a Chinese crested has had the dubious honour of being crowned the World's Ugliest Dog 2011 in a competition in northern California.
The winner, Yoda, was found abandoned behind an apartment building, and her owner says at first she thought it was an overgrown rat.'

Goodness. Yoda may be ugly (both of them), but the things people do for their pets... Remarkable.

So, to get away from all this pain and misery, here is this piece:

U2 - U2 - Mission Impossible Theme .mp3
Found at bee mp3 search engine

And don't you tell me you don't like it.

The best part about this song is that you don't even have to imagine yourself wearing black overalls and snooping around restricted premises trying to steal something. No, you can just simply enjoy the music by itself and wonder to yourself when they stopped making such songs.

5 Annoying Things Worth Doing Intentionally Just to Infuriate People

Yes, the answer to everyone's deepest question is here. These are fairly easy to execute and are the perfect consequence of raised spirits. What's more, they may well be normal everyday scenarios, so you won't have to go out of your way to do them.


#1  A SMack

Taking a scarily long time to finalise the order at the front of a self-service booth line.



# 2  Trial Sentence

Keep on trying clothes, harrying both the waiting crowd and shop assistants, and never coming out of the trial room, finally buying nothing at all.




# 3  Bludgeons and Blabber

Distracting keynote speaker with unrelated tripe. Of course, it's better to be in the back rows and have a loud voice.



# 4  Keep the Change

Fiddle for change at the front of the line. Enough said.



# 5  Esca-late-or

Taking your time to step onto the escalator when you know there are scores behind you waiting for lunch.




It will need (almost) no practise too.
